      How does Inven use AI?

      AI isn't just an add-on at Inven—it's built into the very foundation of our platform. AI is integrated into every aspect of how we collect, analyze, and combine data into the unique data points and features we offer. Powered by the industry's first AI engine of its kind, Inven redefines deal sourcing—all while ensuring an intuitive and seamless user experience. The AI works quietly in the background, continuously surfacing the most relevant companies with the most up-to-date data. And thanks to natural language search, you can find high-potential deals other platforms miss, just by describing what you're looking for.

      I'm not getting relevant results, what do I do?

      If you're not getting relevant results, try optimizing your search using a few best practices. The issue might be related to the filters being used and how they are applied. Iterating on your Descriptive Search terms can often improve results (See Help Article: Descriptive Search Do's and Don'ts). Consider using other filters, such as Keywords with appropriate weighting, for a more targeted focus (See help article: Searching tips & tricks). Also, be mindful that applying too many restrictive filters can limit your results.
